Why Join?

The National Network for Mental Health (NNMH) ensures that the voices of those with mental health issues, are not fragmented by province, region, city and/or diagnosis, but are heard as a unified voice across the country, on decisions that affect us.

NNMH is the only national non-diagnosis-specific group, for people with lived experience of mental health issues.

Membership for people with lived experience of mental health issues is free, however we request a $20 annual membership donation to enable us to keep operating and representing our members’ views at a national level, if you are able. Donations are discretionary and any amount is appreciated.
